A touch of Nordic design clubbed with clean and well defined spaces grace this penthouse apartment developed by Esé Studio in Greece’s capital, the historical Athens.

While most contemporary homes employ a closed shelves design where storage units simply disappear into the surrounding walls, this unique apartment brags with its storage spaces. It has cool floating shelves and ergonomic cabinets to complement the interiors and it perfectly allows you to display all your most prized possessions.

Much of the apartment is clad in soothing neutral tones that include the unassuming gray walls and oak wooden floor. This forms a perfect setting for the décor and furnishings that have been carefully selected to further accentuate the relaxing atmosphere inside. Earthen tones and Scandinavian objects give the penthouse a distinct look. While black, white and gray tend to dominate the setting, the sporadic presence of cool blue and bright red hues offers a much needed contrast.

The bedrooms seem to take this sense of minimalism a notch higher with their platform bed design and the uncluttered spaces. A strong Japanese influence can also be felt in this part of the house. Large glass windows offer ample ventilation and subtle ambient lighting makes the place all the more comforting.

Balanced and bold, this is a modern apartment space that is brimming with creativity and plenty of class. A gorgeous example of not taking minimalism a touch too far, while utilizing the available space to the hilt.
